Beneath the soaring roofline of the
Ontario Pavilion is an eye-opening window on the vast, rich, progressive
Province of Ontario.

The pavilion on Ile Notre-Dame can be reached by
Expo-Express or Minirail. The roof is a soaring angled structure of
pyramid shapes which appears to float over an exhibit platform 18 feet
above ground level. The roof is an opaque vinyl glass fibre membrane
stretched over cigar-shaped steel booms. These lean at many angles to
create various-sized exhibit areas.

On the exhibit platform are 16 bilingual exhibits, a
circular theater and a large restaurant complex.

The exhibits capture in a highly imaginative and
entertaining fashion the mood, character and dynamic outlook of the
province. Colorful, amusing paintings portray Ontario through a child's
eyes. Larger than life-size robots discuss the career opportunities for
young people in Ontario. A flashback to Ontario in 1900 portrays the
homes, entertainment, architecture and people of the period. Other
exhibits describe finance, growth of population and a look into the 21st
century.

The focal point is the 570-seat circular theatre which
presents a unique, multi-image 16-minute film.
